13. Answer the following true/false statements:
- T/F A firm has EPS of $2 and the industry PE multiple is 18, so I should pay $9 for the stock.
- T/F The growth rate can be found by multiplying the EPS by the return on equity
- T/F You need to analyze some projects for a company you work for. You meet with the CFO to discuss some options. If the IRR<WACC then the NPV will be less than 0
- T/F For mutual exclusive projects use NPV as your decision making tool, but for independent projects choosing ones with an IRR>WACC should give you a correct decision.
Homework Answers

PE Ratio = MPS / EPS
MPS = PE Ratio * EPS

Abstract This case deals with the capital budgeting techniques of Net Present Value (i.e. NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (i.e. IRR). In this case, students will compare two mutually exclusive projects using NPV and IRR, and choose the best project. They will learn about NPV and IRR methods and their advantages and disadvantages. Students will also learn the weakness of the IRR method when comparing two or more projects. Finally, they will evaluate the two projects assuming that the...

Types of real options include abandonment, investment timing, expansion, output flexibility, and input flexibility.
